POLISH SUPERSTITION

WHEN A PREGNANT WOMAN FIRST BREAKS THE NEWS OF HER
PREGNANCY, YOU MUST GIVE OR LEND HER ANYTHING SHE
WISHES, OR YOU'LL HAVE MICE IN THE HOUSE.

Submitter comment: MY GRANDMOTHER PARTICULARLY BELIEVED IN THIS ONE,
TO THE POINT THAT WHEN MY AUNT WAS FIRST EXPECTING,
MY MOTHER ALMOST HAD TO GIVE UP OUR CAR WHEN MY AUNT
REQUESTED IT.
